I love to see how color-blocking shows up across different industries: fashion, graphic design, interior design, architecture, product design and art. Colors mix to form happy combinations, which is definitely a mood lifter! The exploration of color opens up new areas in small spaces and add warmth to large ones.
In my mind I think of color like an artist, I want to influence a feeling, create a story, or ask a question. A design can be transformed in a simple but impactful way with the use of color, and I believe it is important to follow your gut and be bold! Your environment influences your well-being. Why not think of your space as a big white canvas? Tell me, how are you using color in your life?
